My local PBS station (WGBH)

On June 11th, 2008 Jim S. said:

My local PBS station (WGBH) spends nearly a third of its prime time programming fund raising with programs that range from outright scams such as "The Secret", Robert Kiyosaki and Ed Slott to very mediocre (to be generous) entertainment such as Andre Rieu.

The bulk of the programming is repeats.

1. Why are you allowed to call yourself "non commercial" when you allow commercials and are nothing more than an extended infomercial for a third of the broadcast year.

2. With most of your programming being infomercials or repeats what are contributors really funding.
